When they arrived, they found a woman had been shot in the hand by her mother, according to detectives.
A roommate and a child were also in the home and were safely taken from the home.
Hillsborough County Chief Deputy Joseph Maurer said that this situation appeared to stem from ongoing domestic violence in this family's home that was never reported.
What we know
The suspect in the shooting barricaded herself in a back room of the home. Deputies managed to open the door to the room and found the suspect with a gun. Deputies said they told her to drop the weapon several times, but she did not.
Detectives say the woman raised her gun and that's when a deputy shot and killed her.
What they're saying
"Multiple commands open the door, make yourself known. Our deputies breached the door. When they breached the door, they found the suspect, the grandmother, armed with a firearm. Multiple commands again: drop the firearm, drop the firearm. The firearm is in her right hand. She raises the firearm and our deputy fires and neutralizes the threat," Maurer said.
Investigators said the suspect lived in the home up until Friday, when she was asked to leave.
"To happen within the same family, I mean it's kind of sad," a neighbor said.
Maurer stressed that you can call the sheriff's office if you are in need of help, and they can lead you to the right resources.
What we don't know
The names of those involved have not been released.

Milwaukee apartment fire; woman pleads not guilty in unrelated incident
The Brief Lakescha Warley pleaded not guilty to charges on Wednesday, June 11, in connection with fire damage inside a Milwaukee apartment building. That building later became the site of a fatal fire on Mother's Day. Warley is due back in court in mid-July. MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee woman accused of causing fire damage inside a Milwaukee apartment building that later became the site of a fatal fire that occurred on Mother's Day pleaded not guilty to charges on Wednesday, June 11. 45-year-old Lakescha Warley is charged with the following: Arson of property other than building Criminal damage to property (less than $2,500 damage) Before Warley entered her plea, the court heard testimony in a preliminary hearing. The judge then found probable cause to find Warley over for trial. What we know According to the criminal complaint, the fire damage was not connected or related to any other fire damage in other portions of the apartment complex, and was deemed an isolated fire location and damage area. It happened at Highland Court Apartments near 27th and Highland on Sunday, May 11. FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android During a walk-through of the apartment building, the apartment manager pointed out a damaged key fob, which controlled the entrance from the building to the parking structure. According to the criminal complaint, the key fob had been pulled off the wall, but still had power and was beeping. The bottom of the unit was melted from heat damage, consistent with someone applying fire or heat to this unit. The damage appeared consistent with a direct open flame source being applied to the key fob. There was also a burn mark above the key fob reader consistent with an open flame being applied to this key fob. The cover to the key fob was on the floor, and also appeared to have fire damage. After reviewing security video footage from the hallway, officials noted a woman – ultimately deemed to be Warley – enter the hallway around 5:30 a.m. She is not a resident of the building and does not have permission to be in the building, the complaint indicates. Detectives deduced that Warley could be seen setting fire damage to the key fob with an open flame and then leaving. Dig deeper According to the criminal complaint, Warley returned just after 6:30 a.m. and appears to be kicking at the wall at the area of the key fob. From security footage, detectives figured that it was consistent with Warley using an open flame to the cover on the first trip, coming back and kicking the cover off, and then again putting an open flame to the key fob, explaining why there is flame damage both to the outside and inside the key fob. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News Afterward, Warley admitted to law enforcement that she was the person in the hallway near the key fob. She told detectives she was using a lighter to smoke drugs in the corner, but did not explain how the fire damage ended up on both the inside electrical portion and the outside cover of the key fob, which was consistent with intentionally damaging the key fob exterior and interior with an open flame. Again, Warley has not been charged in connection with the fatal fire at the same apartment building that occurred later in the morning. What's next Warley is due back in court for a scheduling conference on July 14. If convicted, Warley faces up to more than four years in prison and approximately $20,000 in fines.

Sade Robinson killed, lead detective opens up about case
The Brief MCSO Det. Donner made solving Sade Robinson's murder her only assignment. A jury convicted Maxwell Anderson of killing and dismembering Robinson. The detective opened up with FOX6 News about the case and what it meant to her. MILWAUKEE - The case of Sade Robinson captivated Milwaukee. Behind the case was a detective who made solving the 19-year-old woman's murder her only assignment from day one. What they're saying Days after a jury convicted Maxwell Anderson of killing and dismembering Robinson, Milwaukee County Sheriff's Det. JoAnn Donner opened up to FOX6 News. FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android Maybin: "How often did you walk (Warnimont Park) during this investigation?"Donner: "At least a couple dozen times, I think."Maybin: "Why that many times?"Donner: "I needed to focus a little bit. Sometimes I have to pull myself away from my desk to be able to do that." Donner immersed herself in Robinson's homicide case. She said she wasn't just walking through the Cudahy park to find evidence, she was talking to Robinson, too. Maybin: "What would you say to her?"Donner: "If there's anything else. If there's something she can guide me to help me figure this out or piece more together." During the investigation, Donner said she'd search the beach where Robinson's severed leg first turned up. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News "We're still missing her head, so my hope was that I would be the one to find it and not a civilian or family member or something like that," she said. In the early days of this investigation, it was known Robinson had Life360 on her cellphone. The app allows people to share and track locations with one another. As it turned out, the app played a critical role in Donner and her team's search for evidence to crack the case. "To see on the backend how much it helped us, that's really what led us down the path to find all that video," she said. Video showed Robinson's first date with Anderson, as well as Anderson riding a bus after killing Robinson and torching her car. It was evidence that led the jury to convict Anderson on all counts. But Donner admits it was frustrating to not have clear video of Anderson driving Robinson's car around on the night she was killed. COMPLETE COVERAGE: Maxwell Anderson found guilty of killing, dismembering Sade Robinson "There was actually one video that he's driving by slowly," she said. "The passenger window is down. That's the camera side. As he's going by, that window is rolling up. I found myself literally bending down, hopefully, maybe a little glimpse. But yeah, nothing." Maybin: "If you could interview Maxwell Anderson, what would you ask him?"Donner: "I definitely want to know where he put her head. At least narrow down a search area for us. I have a lot of questions. Motive." After the guilty verdict was read and the courtroom cleared, FOX6 was there as Donner returned to Warnimont Park to quietly pay respects to Robinson. "Just basically hoping I did a good job for her. I wanted to leave a little bit of a tribute," she said. "That's where I met her and wanted to say goodbye." Anderson remains in the Milwaukee County Jail. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 15. Dig deeper The Source FOX6 News interviewed Donner for this report. Additional information is from prior coverage of the Maxwell Anderson trial.
